Published

on

KITCHENER, ON, Aug. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Canadian Solar Inc. (“Canadian Solar” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: CSIQ) today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.

Second Quarter Highlights

Energy storage shipments of 3.7 GWh to internal and external projects under execution, exceeding guidance of 2.8 GWh to 3.2 GWh.Net revenues of $1.2 billion, at the high end of $1.0 billion to $1.2 billion guidance.Gross margin of 13.9%, in line with guidance of 13% to 15%.Officially opened the first phase of the flagship HJT solar cell factory in Jeffersonville, Indiana.Published the 2025 Sustainability Report on June 1, 2026, highlighting new milestones and disclosure updates aligned to global reporting standards.

Colin Parkin, CEO of Canadian Solar, said, “We are executing on a multidimensional solar technology roadmap, spanning advanced cell innovations to next-generation applications. In the near to midterm, U.S. manufacturing remains at the forefront of our strategy. In July, we celebrated the official opening of our state-of-the-art HJT solar cell factory, marking a historic milestone, as Canadian Solar became not only the first commercially operational HJT manufacturer in the United States, but also a meaningful contributor to the local economy and community development. In addition to ramping up the Phase I capacity of 2.1 GWp, we will start installing equipment for Phase II before the end of the year, bringing total nameplate cell capacity to 6.3 GWp in the first half of 2027. This will position CS PowerTech as the largest crystalline silicon cell manufacturer in North America. When combined with our 10 GWp module facility in Texas, CS PowerTech solidifies its position as one of North America’s premier integrated PV manufacturers.

During the quarter, shipments within our Manufacturing segment were in line with expectations, with slight operational outperformance in battery energy storage, as we continue to navigate global macroeconomic uncertainties with agility. We delivered 3.1 GW of solar modules, with nearly half shipped to our North American home base. In addition, we achieved 3.7 GWh of energy storage shipments to internal and external projects under execution, serving utility-scale projects across North America, EMEA, Asia Pacific and Latin America. As we double down on our U.S. manufacturing strategy, we continue to rebalance our global project development business and optimize capital allocation across our core growth engines.”

Xinbo Zhu, Senior VP and CFO, added, “For the quarter, we achieved total revenue of $1.2 billion with a gross margin of 13.9%. The sequential decrease in gross margin was primarily driven by the absence of a tariff refund recognized in the prior period, alongside normalized energy storage margins. Net loss attributable to shareholders was $77 million, or $1.40 per share, and we ended the period with a cash position of $1.9 billion.

Recurrent Energy’s quarterly performance was light, primarily due to the deferral of planned project sales to the second half. Electricity revenue increased sequentially following the COD of a major utility-scale solar project in Spain. Within our global pipeline, we are focusing on quality, prioritizing value realization from mature, high-margin opportunities; pruning less attractive projects; and managing operating expenses to protect profitability.”

Second Quarter 2026 Results

Total solar module shipments recognized as revenue in Q2 2026 were 3.1 GW, up 25% quarter-over-quarter (“qoq”) and down 60% year-over-year (“yoy”).

Total battery energy storage shipments recognized as revenue in Q2 2026 were 3.7 GWh, up 82% qoq and up 73% yoy. Of the total, 471 MWh were shipped to internal projects under execution, with associated revenue to be recognized in subsequent quarters.

Net revenues were $1.2 billion in Q2 2026, up 12% sequentially and down 29% yoy. The sequential increase reflects higher sales of solar modules and battery energy storage solutions, partially offset by lower project sales. The yoy decrease reflects a decline in solar module and project sales.

Gross profit was $168 million, compared to $271 million in Q1 2026 and $505 million in Q2 2025. Gross margin was 13.9%, compared to 25.1% and 29.8% in Q1 2026 and Q2 2025, respectively. The sequential and yoy decrease in gross margin was primarily due to the absence of IEEPA tariff refund benefits recognized in the previous quarter and the absence of the release of unrealized profit upon sales-type leasing of a U.S. project in Q2 2025.

Operating expenses were $240 million, compared to $198 million in Q1 2026 and down from $378 million in Q2 2025. The sequential increase reflects higher ramp-up costs and logistics costs. The yoy decrease is mainly due to decrease in impairment charges related to certain solar and storage assets, as well as manufacturing assets. Operating expenses represented 19.8% of revenue, compared to 18.4% in Q1 2026 and 22.3% in Q2 2025.

Net loss attributable to Canadian Solar in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) in Q2 2026 was $77 million, or a net loss of $1.40 per share, compared to a net loss of $32 million, or a net loss of $0.71 per share, in Q1 2026, and a net income of $7 million, or a net loss of $0.08 per share, in Q2 2025. Net income or loss per diluted share includes the dilutive effect of convertible bonds, as applicable, and paid-in-kind dividends on the Recurrent Energy redeemable preferred shares.

Net cash flow used in operating activities in Q2 2026 was $181 million, driven by changes in working capital, compared to net cash flow used in operating activities of $209 million in Q1 2026 and net cash flow provided by operating activities of $189 million in Q2 2025.

Total debt, including financing liabilities, was $7.1 billion as of June 30, 2026, including $4.1 billion, $2.5 billion, and $0.4 billion related to Recurrent Energy, Manufacturing, and convertible notes, respectively. Total debt increased from $6.8 billion as of March 31, 2026, mainly due to new non-recourse debt drawdown for construction of solar and battery energy storage projects under Recurrent Energy in the U.S. Total non-recourse debt under Recurrent Energy as of June 30, 2026, was $2.6 billion.

Business Segments

Canadian Solar’s business is organized into two segments:

Manufacturing, comprising CS PowerTech, which focuses on the manufacture and sales of solar products, battery energy storage products, and other power technology products for the U.S. market, and CSI Solar, which serves all other global markets; andRecurrent Energy, which focuses on solar power and battery storage project development, asset sales, power services, and electricity revenue from its operating portfolio.

Manufacturing

Solar Modules and Solar System Kits

The Company shipped 3.1 GW of solar modules and solar system kits to more than 70 countries and regions in Q2 2026.

Consistent with the Company’s transition from volume-driven growth to high-value creation, the Company will focus its capacity disclosure on strategic markets rather than aggregate global manufacturing capacity.

In the U.S., the Company operates a 5 GWp solar module factory in Mesquite, Texas, which is currently being expanded to a nameplate capacity of 10 GWp, with completion expected in the second half of 2026.

The Company is also continuing to advance its flagship, state-of-the-art heterojunction technology (“HJT”) solar cell factory in Jeffersonville, Indiana. In response to strong customer demand, the Company is in the process of increasing its production capacity beyond 6 GWp, with additional production lines being installed and commissioned through 2026.

Phase I: A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held in July 2026. Phase I has a nameplate capacity of 2.1 GWp and is the first commercial-scale HJT solar cell facility in the U.S.Phase II: The Company expects to begin trial production for Phase II in the first quarter of 2027. This expansion will add 4.2 GWp of capacity, bringing the Company’s total solar cell nameplate capacity in the U.S. to 6.3 GWp.

e-STORAGE: Battery Energy Storage Solutions

As of June 30, 2026, e-STORAGE contracted backlog, including contracted long-term service agreements, stood at $3.5 billion. These signed orders represent binding customer commitments and provide significant earnings visibility over a multi-year period.

Recurrent Energy

As of June 30, 2026, the Company had a total global solar project development pipeline of approximately 22 GWp and a battery energy storage project development pipeline of 84 GWh.

The business model consists of three key drivers:

Electricity revenue from the operating portfolio to drive stable, diversified cash flows in growth markets;Asset sales, including selective sales of operating assets and development-stage projects, to manage cash flow and debt levels, and to fund growth in the operating portfolio; andPower services (O&M) through long-term operations and maintenance (“O&M”) contracts, currently with 15 GW of contracted projects, to drive stable and long-term recurring earnings and synergies with the project development platform.

Project Development Pipeline – Solar

As of June 30, 2026, the Company’s total solar project development pipeline was 21.7 GWp, including 1.7 GWp under construction, 2.2 GWp of backlog, and 17.7 GWp of projects in advanced and early-stage development. The pipeline includes projects that may be retained for long-term ownership and operation or sold to third parties, depending on market conditions and capital allocation priorities. The pipeline stages are defined as follows:

Backlog projects are late-stage projects that have passed their risk cliff date and are expected to start construction within the next one to four years. A project’s risk cliff date is the date on which it passes the last high-risk development stage and varies by country. Typically, this occurs after the project has received all required environmental and regulatory approvals, and entered into interconnection agreements and offtake contracts, including feed-in tariff (“FIT”) arrangements and power purchase agreements (“PPAs”). A significant majority of backlog projects are contracted (i.e., have secured a PPA or FIT), and the remainder have a reasonable likelihood of securing PPAs.Advanced pipeline projects are mid-stage projects that have secured or are assessed by the Company as having a high likelihood of securing an interconnection agreement.Early-stage pipeline projects are early-stage projects managed by the Company that are in the process of securing interconnection.

Although the magnitude of the Company’s project development pipeline provides an indication of current development activity, it is not a predictor of future owned generation or storage assets, revenue growth, or operating results. The Company may elect to sell, transfer, or otherwise monetize projects at various stages of development, and as a result, not all pipeline projects are expected to contribute to the Company’s long-term owned asset base. The development of projects in the Company’s pipeline is inherently uncertain. If the Company does not successfully complete the pipeline projects in a timely manner, it may not realize the anticipated benefits of those projects to the extent expected, which could adversely affect its business, results of operations, and financial condition. In addition, the Company’s guidance and estimates of its future operating and financial results assume the timely completion of certain solar and battery energy storage projects under construction or in backlog. If the Company is unable to execute on its projects under construction and in backlog, it may fail to meet its guidance, which could adversely affect the market price of its common shares and its business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Business Outlook

The Company’s business outlook is based on management’s current views and estimates, taking into account factors such as existing market conditions, order book, production capacity, input material prices, foreign exchange fluctuations, the anticipated timing of project sales, and the global economic environment. This outlook is subject to uncertainty with respect to, among other things, customer demand, project construction and sale schedules, product sales prices and costs, supply chain constraints, and geopolitical conflicts. Management’s views and estimates are subject to change without notice.

In Q3 2026, the Company expects total revenue to be in the range of $1.3 billion to $1.5 billion. Gross margin is expected to be between 13.5% and 15.5%. Total module shipments recognized as revenue are expected to be in the range of 3.5 GW to 3.8 GW. Total battery energy storage shipments in Q3 2026 are expected to be in the range of 3.4 GWh to 3.8 GWh.

The Company is reiterating its guidance of 6.5 GW to 7.0 GW of solar modules and 4.5 GWh to 5.5 GWh of battery energy storage solutions for the U.S. market in 2026.

Colin Parkin, CEO of Canadian Solar, commented, “We expect margins in the third quarter to remain stable, as we continue to scale our integrated U.S. solar manufacturing strategy, though ramp-up costs associated with our solar cell facility in Jeffersonville, Indiana, will weigh on profitability for the remainder of the year. We anticipate the cadence of U.S. solar and storage shipments to accelerate in the second half, with each quarter of 2026 delivering larger volumes than the last. Meanwhile, at Recurrent, we expect to close the delayed project sales from the second quarter, driving a sequentially stronger third quarter.”

Sharon AI Expands Executive Leadership Team to Support Next Phase of Growth and Delivery

Published

on

By

NEW YORK, Aug. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — SharonAI Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: SHAZ) (“Sharon AI” or the “Company”), a leading Australian Neocloud and trusted AI infrastructure partner, today announced an expansion of its executive leadership team to support the Company’s next phase of disciplined growth and delivery.

The expanded structure establishes dedicated executive accountability across Sharon AI’s company-wide operations and AI infrastructure delivery as the Company scales its multi-site, multi-country AI Factory platform.

As part of the leadership expansion:

David Burns has been appointed Chief Operating Officer, with responsibility for the end-to-end delivery and operation of Sharon AI’s expanding AI infrastructure estate.Andrew Leece, Sharon AI’s current Chief Operating Officer and Co-founder, will move into the dedicated role of Head of Strategic Partnerships and Co-founder, providing founder-level sponsorship across the Company’s most important customer, data centre and strategic relationships.

The leadership changes reflect the increasing scale and complexity of Sharon AI’s operations. Responsibilities previously held within broader roles are being assigned to specialist executives, establishing clear accountability while retaining the experience and institutional knowledge of the leaders who have built the business.

“As Sharon AI grows, we are building the specialist leadership capability required to deliver with discipline and at scale,” said James Manning, Chief Executive Officer and Co-founder of Sharon AI.

“These appointments establish clear accountability across operational delivery, infrastructure capacity and strategic partnerships. They strengthen our ability to convert customer commitments and contracted capacity into live AI infrastructure while continuing to build trusted, long-term relationships across our partner ecosystem.

“Andrew has played a central role in building Sharon AI’s operating capability and advancing our AI Factory deployments. As Co-founder, his knowledge of our business, customers and partner ecosystem is invaluable. His new mandate will enable him to focus on the founder-level relationships that are critical to Sharon AI’s long-term success.”

Strengthening operational delivery

As Chief Operating Officer, David Burns will lead the end-to-end delivery and operation of Sharon AI’s multi-site, multi-country AI infrastructure estate.

The role will bring together program management, procurement, the consolidated customer order book and partner-delivered services, with accountability for accelerating the journey from customer order to live operational capacity.

David brings more than 35 years of experience leading and transforming technology, telecommunications and services businesses across Australia, the United States, Europe and Asia. He has held senior executive roles at Telstra and IBM, with responsibility spanning P&L leadership, customer delivery, managed services, infrastructure, transformation and major acquisitions.

Most recently, David served as Group Executive, Telstra Enterprise, where he led the company’s Australian B2B and international portfolio. As COO at Sharon AI, he will lead operational strategy and execution, helping the company scale its AI infrastructure platform with a strong focus on delivery, customer outcomes and financial performance.

David Burns said, “AI is moving at a pace unlike any technology shift I’ve experienced in my career, and the opportunity ahead for Sharon AI is significant. What excites me is the challenge of turning that opportunity into execution – building the operational capability, partnerships and discipline needed to deliver for customers at scale.

“Sharon AI has an ambitious strategy and a strong position in a rapidly evolving market. I’m looking forward to working alongside the team to translate that ambition into outcomes for our customers, partners and shareholders.”

Dedicated founder-level strategic partnerships

In his new role as Head of Strategic Partnerships and Co-founder, Andrew Leece will provide executive sponsorship and long-term continuity across Sharon AI’s priority customer, data centre and strategic relationships.

The dedicated mandate separates long-term relationship stewardship from day-to-day commercial negotiations and operational delivery, enabling Andrew to focus his experience and founder perspective on partnerships that are central to Sharon AI’s growth.

“Sharon AI has reached a point where the scale of our customer commitments, infrastructure pipeline and partner ecosystem requires more specialised leadership,” said Andrew Leece, Co-founder of Sharon AI.

“I am proud of the operating capability we have built and the progress we are making across our AI Factory platform. My new role will allow me to focus on strengthening the strategic relationships that underpin our capacity, delivery and long-term growth, while supporting the expanded leadership team as we move into this next phase.”

The appointments and leadership changes will take effect from 7th September 2026.

About Sharon AI

PHOSGO Officially Launches World’s First Mass-Produced Solar E-Bike Series on Indiegogo

Published

By

Built for camping and multi-day outdoor exploration, the Go5 Series combines up to 200 W of peak solar capacity with up to 140 miles of combined riding before the next plug-in charge, supporting up to three days of outdoor travel under favorable conditions.

SHENZHEN, China, Aug. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — PHOSGO, a pioneering clean-tech mobility brand, today announced the official global launch of its groundbreaking Go5 Solar E-Bike Series on Indiegogo. Designed for camping, long-distance touring, and multi-day outdoor exploration, the Go5 Series addresses one of the biggest limitations of conventional e-bikes: access to reliable charging when riders travel beyond the grid. It represents the world’s first mass-produced solar-powered electric bicycle series built for global consumer markets.

Following the VIP reservation phase, the Go5 Series is now available to backers in eligible countries and regions, with introductory Super Early Bird pricing starting at $1,899.

Redefining Outdoor Mobility: “Ride the Sun”

The name PHOSGO combines the Ancient Greek word “Phôs,” meaning light, with the English word “Go,” representing movement, exploration, and freedom. Together, the name reflects PHOSGO’s vision of turning sunlight into energy for mobility beyond the reach of conventional charging.

For riders traveling through campsites, rural roads, and remote destinations, access to a wall outlet can be limited or unpredictable. PHOSGO integrates proprietary solar panels directly into the wheel structure, allowing the Go5 Series to capture supplemental energy while riding and while parked in sunlight. The result is a mobile, solar-assisted energy system designed to reduce charging stops and extend outdoor journeys.

“Outdoor mobility should not be limited by the location of the next wall outlet,” said John Wang, Founder & CEO of PHOSGO. “The Go5 Series is designed for riders who camp, explore, and travel beyond the grid. By harvesting solar energy during the journey and at camp, it reduces charging anxiety and gives riders greater freedom to go farther.”

Years of Breakthrough Engineering

The official release of the Go5 Series culminates a nine-year research and development journey in advanced photovoltaics. To ensure maximum durability and energy conversion on moving wheels, PHOSGO engineered three core innovations:

Next-Gen Back-Contact (BC) Solar Architecture: The Go5 Series uses BC solar cells with a rated conversion efficiency of over 26%. With all electrical contacts located on the rear of the cells, front-side shading from metal contacts is reduced.Structural Solar Wheel & Conductive Hub Technology: Four wheel-integrated solar panels provide up to 200 W of peak solar capacity. PHOSGO’s proprietary Conductive Hub Technology reliably transfers electricity from the rotating wheels to the e-bike’s electrical system.Dual-Mode Charging Architecture: Managed by an intelligent MPPT solar controller, energy is dynamically allocated – assisting the motor to reduce battery consumption while riding, and automatically recharging the battery when parked under the sun.

Two Models Built for Outdoor Exploration

The Go5 Series is designed first for campers, outdoor travelers, adventure riders, and long-distance explorers, while also providing practical solar-assisted benefits for everyday riding.

PHOSGO Go5 Ultra

Built for demanding terrain and long-distance exploration, the Go5 Ultra is equipped with a premium Bafang M430 mid-drive motor rated at 750 W, delivering up to 150 N•m of torque and speeds of up to 28 mph in the US configuration.

Powered by a 720 Wh battery using LG cells, it offers an estimated base range of up to 90 miles. With solar recovery during a multi-day trip under favorable sunlight and defined riding conditions, the combined riding distance before the next plug-in charge can reach approximately 140 miles, supporting up to three days of outdoor travel.

Gear shifting is handled by an eight-speed Shimano drivetrain with electronic shifting.

PHOSGO Go5 Pro

Designed for weekend camping, day trips, and lighter outdoor exploration, the Go5 Pro features a Bafang M430 mid-drive motor rated at 500 W, delivering up to 140 N•m of torque and speeds of up to 20 mph in the US configuration.

Powered by a 480 Wh battery using LG cells, it offers an estimated base range of up to 60 miles. With solar recovery during a multi-day trip under favorable sunlight and defined riding conditions, the combined riding distance before the next plug-in charge can reach approximately 110 miles, making it well suited to weekend camping and shorter outdoor trips.

Gear changes are seamlessly managed by a durable Shimano 8-speed drivetrain.

From Campsites to Daily Commutes

At a campsite or during an extended outdoor stop, the wheel-integrated Solar Wheel Charging System can continue harvesting energy while the bike is parked in sunlight. On the move, the system supplies supplemental energy that can reduce battery consumption. Together, these modes help outdoor riders spend more time exploring and less time planning around charging locations.

For city riders, the same system can also reduce plug-in charging frequency. Based on a typical 20-mile daily round-trip commute and up to 17 miles of daily solar recovery, the Go5 Pro can enable up to 20 days and the Go5 Ultra up to 30 days of commuting without plugging in under favorable conditions.

The Go5 Series will also be offered in regional configurations. EU versions use compliant 250 W pedal-assist systems with motor assistance limited to 25 km/h. Australian configurations will be supplied in accordance with applicable state and territory regulations.

Both models integrate a full-vehicle CAN bus communication system and smart IoT modules (4G, GPS, Bluetooth).

Through the PHOSGO mobile app, riders can view key battery and ride data, track the bike’s location, and activate an electronic motor lock. The bike’s built-in 4G, GPS, and Bluetooth connectivity also supports anti-theft alerts and connected services.

Official Launch Pricing & Global Availability

The Go5 Series is available for backing in eligible countries and regions starting today with limited-time launch discounts:

PHOSGO Go5 Ultra: MSRP $3,799 | Super Early Bird: $2,499PHOSGO Go5 Pro: MSRP $2,799 | Super Early Bird: $1,899

Both the Go5 Ultra and Go5 Pro will be offered in Step-Over and Step-Through frame styles. For each model, the Step-Over and Step-Through versions are offered at the same price.
